The Will Trent TV series is no stranger to the ability to attract audiences who love crime and investigation. Since its debut on ABC, the series has consistently received positive reviews from critics and viewers thanks to its intelligent script, deep characters, and the excellent performance of Ramón Rodríguez as Agent Will Trent.
A character unlike any other
Will Trent is a character that brings a new wave to the detective genre of television. Born into unfortunate circumstances, raised in the Georgia orphanage system, Will carries many wounds from the past. However, it is these very things that create a special service: the ability to observe feelings, feel for victims, and make decisions in any situation.
Ramón Rodríguez portrays this character in a subtle way, both strong and vulnerable. Readers not only see Will as an explorer, but also as someone struggling with his inner self, loneliness and healing journey.
Compelling plot and deep storytelling
According to critics from TV Guide and Variety, “Will Trent” is more than just a regular investigative series. Each episode not only recounts a mission but also cleverly interweaves pieces of the character’s past, the emotional connection between psychological traumas that have never been healthy.
The balance between action – psychology, between investigation – emotion is something that many series of the same genre have not been able to do, but “Will Trent” is completely successful.
Consistent acting and outstanding characters
It is impossible to mention the talented supporting actors who contribute to the appeal of the film. Erika Christensen as Angie Polaski – Will’s complicated ex-lover, brings depth to the love story and the emotional roughness between two profound people. On the other side of the coin are Iantha Richardson, Sonja Sohn and Jake McLaughlin, each bringing their own determination, the investigative team is anything but monotonous.
Positive feedback from critics
On Rotten Tomatoes, Will Trent has an impressive score of 95% from critics and 91% from pros. The numbers seen here are a film that is not only good in terms of content but also has a feeling of emotion when watching. Critic Linda Holmes from NPR writes:
“Will Trent possesses all the elements of an excellent investigative series, but what makes the difference is the way the film treats human pain – honestly, without being sad.”
Sequel – what awaits Will?
After the tense developments at the end of season 2, season 3 of Will Trent promises to have many more emotional twists. Relationships will continue to be interesting challenges, missions will push the character to the limit, and Will’s dark past will likely continue to be trained.
Ramón Rodríguez revealed in a recent interview: “There will be episodes where the audience will have to breathe. Will will be put in a very traumatic situation but also when he is at his strongest.”
Conclusion: A must-watch
If you are looking for an entertaining series that is not simply entertaining but still contains psychological depth, Will Trent is the right choice to watch. With great acting, smart script and complex characters, this series has proven itself worthy of being one of the best TV works today.
